By A v ' rice charg'd to rouse infernal strife , And blast the promise of domestic life ; But launch'd by Commerce with a kind command , To bear our blessings to her distant land ; The stores of peace , the instruments of art ,
The faith that guides the life and rules the heart And sure the men to whom this zeal was giv ' n , May humbly hope the patronage of Heav ' n ; Of purpos ed virtue their ' s the sacred bliss , And their ' s the plaudit of the Prince of Peace ;
And while my country , provident at last , Looks , hapless spendthrift , on her follies past ; Computes the widow ' s and the orphan ' s tear , And deems e ' en victory ' s JaureJL bought too dear ; This true ambition shall exalt her fame , And unborn nations hail Britannia ' s name *
Naimba , nna ! health and virtue still be thine ! Those high endowments from the Pow ' r divine ! And when improv ed by friendship ' s fostering care , Thy welcome sails shall bless a parent ' s pray e r ; May thousands smile beneath a mild command , While arts and industry enrich thy land .
Then Europe ' s savages shall spread no more Contention ' s flame along her peaceful shore , Rouse friends and kindred to a guilty strife , And wound the fondest charities of life ; Nor drag the husband from the wife ' s embrace , And leave to pining want his orphan race ; Her sons no more for foreign tyrants toiL
But dress with willing hand their native soil ; Where pathless thickets stopp'd the trav e ler ' s way , Shall peopled towns the arts of life display ; Blithe on her streams the barks of coihmercJe sail , And joys of harvest gladden every vale ; The Christian hope revisit Afric ' s clime ^ And point to worlds beyond the bounds of time .

Doth learning , science emulate thy mind To soar above the mass of human kind ? What if thou canst with optic tube survey , And measure Saturn .-on his dusky way , Canst mark how distant , and liow large his sphere , And note the length of his revolving year ?
